My research focuses on understanding the extent and dynamics of present, and former ice masses, in the Arctic and pan-North Atlantic. I undertook a PhD investigating plateau icefield glaciation during a period of abrupt climate change (Younger Dryas; ~12.9 -11.7 ka BP). Following my PhD I moved to the University of Aberdeen to work as a Post-Doctoral Researcher where my research focused on the Greenland Ice Sheet and reconstructing millennial-scale tidewater glacier behaviour. I joined the University of Hertfordshire, in 2018, as a Senior Lecturer in Physical Geography as well as Head of the Academic Support Unit for c. 3500 students. In 2021 I moved to NMBU as a Quaternary Geologist.
